Klipsch is better. They both roll off around 55hz at the low end, but the klipsch has better tweeters and it's bi amped on both the low end and the high end with double woofers.

It also has more low end power with dual 20w amps, and has dual 10w midrange and high amps. 60 watts total vs 40.

The klipsch specs and design actually remind me of a couple nicer small 5in studio monitors(think krk, mackie, m-audio but probably more towards the low-ish end of that) slapped into one case. That's really powerful for a dock, and klipsch tweeters rule.

This is a very good price for a speaker that's probably fairly comparable. more powerful amps don't mean a higher peak SPL, or a higher SPL without distortion especially since the klipsch is sandwiched into a very thin small case and this has more room to breathe.

If you need a second one, buy this. This is not better though... it's more of a wash with some slight tradeoffs. The pioneer has some issues with the metal grille causing diffusion and slight distortion in the 5 or 6khz+ range. It's also a lot generally larger and thicker.

I bought the A3 as a Best Buy deal of the day for $40 last month and it's really nice. I love it, although the remote isn't working and I called customer service and they told me I can buy another battery (!) or go back to Best Buy for help.. Gee! Thanks Pioneer! Didn't expect such shoddy support from Pioneer.

That was the A1. A3 was $70.

I bought the A1 as well. I was going to pick this up until I realized this also does not have a battery. Only the A3 has a battery.
